I had no friends to keep me motivated to maintain going to the gym on a daily basis. It also takes me a bit to get to my nearest gym, and the weather here isn't always nice. I love eating food, so it was difficult for me to limit my intake. I also am incredibly shy in the gym. When I first went I spent about 40 minutes in the changing room, but when I went out I worked out in the corner because I was scared of everyone since everyone else was fit and I was fat. I tried to avoid people as much as I could and made my presence not noticeable.
